Chin augmentation, also known as mentoplasty, is a surgical procedure to reshape the chin either by
enhancement with an implant or reduction surgery on the bone. Chin augmentation is a common procedure for
Houston plastic surgeons. Many times a plastic surgeon may recommend chin surgery to a patient having nose
surgery in order to achieve facial proportion, as the size of the chin may magnify or minimize the perceived
size of the nose. Chin surgery helps provide a harmonious balance to your facial features so that you feel
better about the way you look.
Surgery of the chin
A well defined chin helps give balance to the face and creates a major part of one's profile. When people
look in the mirror, most focus on the size and shape of their noses, their ears, sagging jowls, or fine
wrinkling of the skin.
